rhm - very odd, can't picture or figure what that would be from but bummer dude!
noglider - I like that you say your waist was tiny rather than your hips were big. Just cuz I always complain that my thighs and calves are too big; shoulda been talking abt my tiny waist instead!
But it isn't tho... Tiny... My waist... My thighs and calves tho - skinny jeans are tough - even if the thighs fit, the calves usually don't. If I'm in some flares or whatevs and the calves and waist are good, the thighs are tight... Not necessarily bike related but def doesn't help... More of a genetics deal...
